Maybe it was the subject reminding Americans of a war they would like to forget?

They have logged onto a public tracker, and they have some IPs of some people that MIGHT have downloaded a film that MIGHT have been an illegal copy of a movie. Could have been the person paying for the connection, could have been their kid. Or a visiting kid. Or they could have an open connection, as I do. Or someone could have spoofed their IP (very very easy to do), or pretty much anything.

Fortunately, in most courts, one needs evidence. So they will need to go to accused's residence, seize every HDD in their building and then prove that the file is or was on the HDD.

I can't see this even GETTING to court.
That's up to a court to decide. They seize the computer and the logs tell them when it was downloaded. Good luck paying the attorneys to get a verdict.
